DR. BACON SMOKED BACON-WRAPPED ARMADILLO EGGS
Can you say flavor bomb? With the four horsemen of flavor, the sausage, cheese, jalapenos and bacon bring the noise in a tightly wound geode of deliciousness. Are you ready to light the fuse?
Dr. Bacon’s preferred method of cooking Bacon-Wrapped Armadillo Eggs is on a pellet smoker/ grill such as a Traeger Pellet Grill because the ingredients absorb all sorts of smoky goodness.
Cooking in the oven is another great option due to the pleasing aromas of delicious bacon, savory sausage and melty cheese that will waft around your home.
